Newsletters
Issue 27 of the NAC Newsletter is now available!
Our February to March newsletter highlights another successful NAC Afternoon Tea, where clients came together to celebrate the festive season, enjoy great company and learn more about important aged care topics. Nurse Practitioner Sandi shared valuable information on Advance Care Planning, with attendees receiving practical resources to support future decision-making.
This issue also explains why care staff may occasionally use their phones during services, outlining how phone use supports documentation, communication and new Support at Home requirements, while always prioritising professionalism and respect.
With warmer months bringing increased fire risk, we share practical bushfire safety tips to help clients prepare and stay safe. We also celebrate a very special milestone, Fay and Fred’s 65-year Sapphire wedding anniversary, recognising a lifetime of love and commitment.
Additionally, the newsletter provides information on the Vulnerable Persons Register, explaining who it is for, how it works and how it can support emergency services during critical situations. The issue wraps up with a fun puzzle page, including a Valentine’s Day word search.
Issue 22 of the NAC Newsletter is now available!
Issue 22 of the NAC newsletter marks significant farewells, with beloved GP Dr. Alison Bailey retiring after more than 20 years of service in the Macedon Ranges. Though retired, she will continue on a casual basis. Nurse Kerrie also retired, just short of her 10-year anniversary, having been a valued member of the residential and home care teams.
Home Care client Rueben is featured for his unique woodwork talent, discovered by chance over 40 years ago. His beautifully restored wood pieces have been shared with friends, family, and even the NAC office.
This newsletter emphasizes the importance of client feedback. The Client Advisory Group (CAG) encourages all clients to speak up - whether to share concerns or suggestions. NAC also welcomes new members to join the group to help shape care and services.
A reminder that the NAC Afternoon Tea is scheduled for May 14, 2025, offering a chance for community members to connect. The Afternoon Tea will be held at the NAC office: 63 Urquhart Street, Woodend VIC 3442.
